Restored / repaired notes

I notice that there are a number of "restored" or "repaired" notes
being sold on ebay.

Some of the notes are listed as restored but how effective are the
techniques used & how will the note last with new chemicals being
introduced?

I notice that the restoring process appears to have removed the
remainder of the signatures that was visible on the unrestored note.
(Visible on the high resolution scan I got from a previous owner of
the note) I notice it is now listed as an rare unsigned remainder.

I've been aware of the seller of the doctored note for a long time and I
came to the conclusion that his notes are usually overgraded and often not
in original condition.

I not surprised at the mark up he is looking for either.

I would never buy a note from him. Billy

Any comments on the method used to "seal and heal" that rip? The
"repair" looks worse than the tape job.

I agree, the seller bought the note(obviously look at the purchase and the
userid) then he got it and destroyed it with his "restoration" .
